Woot!

WhatsApp returns to Windows Phone, brings new features

[4ny0n3]

All I can say is: About friggin' time.

[Cesar Gomez Hernandez]

Where are the ppl who complaints about Whatsapp, ah?

[ImMadNad]

Hope support for WP 8.1 comes much faster than the current release

[MDMcAtee]

Seems faster...lol

Mac

[ttsoldier]

Really glad they fixed the scrolling for older message bug.

Also. The app really is faster. The animations feel so much more smoother now.

Only thing is that pictures still save in this "other picutures" folder and can't set individual chat backgrounds...

but hey, still 5 stars for me :)

[frontadom]

very nice for microsoft and whatsapp, 5 star for this.

[mpt15]

I changed my review in the store from 3 stars to 5 stars.

If everyone could re-review the app it would be good for the developers. Please rate the app again!

[SSgt Bruskowiz]

I won't, not because of the app but because of the developers. They shouldn't have pulled it in the first place. So 1 star for trustworthy developers.....for the app itself to soon to say.

[Nitesh Tilwani]

Finally it's here... Phew... But hardly mattered to me.... Tried must backgrounds but i have a soft spot for it the way it always was (no background), No privacy update feature used by me... Let's see if there are under the good changes which could matter...

[chmun77]

All hail!!!! The most waited app is back!!! Thanks Microsoft and Whatsapp! Going to install on my 1020 now....

Edited: Zooming in of received images still lagging like the old version. Hmm...

[milanpatel2004]

I'm having problem... Its showing error as Turn off ristrict background data... My back ground data is not restricted then also its showing this error... Won't even let me open the app

[anmol thakur]

Hope that it becomes more faster for wp8.1

[iamtim]

Truly this has been one of WPC's most shining moments.

Heh.

[Akhilesh Bhambhani]

The app is good, stable, fast and everything seems to be working. But one feature which should be included in future updates is the search for chat feature. Windows version has the ability to search for anything within chats.
But once you search a word and tap on a chat to read it, it just opens the chat doesn't take you to the word where it was used. Android has it, would be great to see it in use. :)

[Vishnu Hs]

Did that #BRINGBACKwhatsapp campaign close before it began??

[sudhisoma]

Yes! FINALLYYYY :D

[sharmakartik93]

Best morning of my life. i didn't think it would arrive so early. does anyone face notification problem while using data on roaming.

[Lance_WPCentral]

The background feature is awesome. Also it seems much faster than before, the messages are going out really fast !

[rajuks1991]

Loved the update ..... But the thing is the moment I opened the app for first time after update it said, not all features are available for your device :/ I'm running 8.1. I just hope they release some more exciting features for 8.1 soon.

[rajuks1991]

I'm now able to see my own display picture 📷.... That's the best part 😄

[sudhisoma]

It seriously is much much faster! :D
Overall very happy with the update :) Hope they keep updating the app more regularly now and optimize it for WP8.1 :)

[Altaf Nadaf1]

Whatsapp thank you so much for coming back, & loved the new options thank you so much hope will not face notification issue while mobile data use.

[judemanutd]

i can finally read past history without the app crashing and its almost as smooth as android...amazing feeling

[milanpatel2004]

Anybody else facing issue regarding background restrictions? My background tasks are not ristricted than also it doesn't allow me to open the app also
